With my new pot due to shortly arrive started thinking about recipes so came up with 2 fairly straight forward recipes. I don't wanna spend huge amounts on my first I've tried to keep things simple. Not bought anything yet so I can easily change.
Total in kettle
40 litres
total in fv 25 litres
abv 5% ish
90 min mash n boil

Recipe 1
5kg of pale malt
250g carapils
50g terrified wheat

Hops
90 min s 20g ekg
60 min 30 g ekg
15 min hull melon 20g
0 min hull melon 10g
dry hop 20g hull melon

Recipe 2
5kg pale malt
250g low colour crystal

Hop
40g challenger 90 mins
20g ekg 15 mins
10g ekg 5 mins
30g ekg dry hop

The Rough idea I'm going for is floral spicey English pale with a natural yeast and low cost. I've also seen a single hop ekg recipe in greg hughes book with a whopping 200g of the stuff equally spaced throughout the bill using pale n carapils as a base

Any thoughts thanks in advance

Cheers sean

Erm, I am assuming this is your first AG batch by your introduction, a simple recipe is an EKG SMaSH, all Pale Malt, add hops at 90, 15, 10, 5 and Flameout. Second is what I call a Mild Porter, 76% Pale/Mild, 12% Brown, 7% Crystal, 5% Chocolate. 3.7%, IBU, 38, equal parts Goldings and Fuggles.

I can give you the vitals of both over PM but I'm being lazy atm.

All the best

Yep it's my first proper brew (well biab) but I'm fairly experienced just about to make the next foray

Have you spoken to a chap called Krazypara? He lives in Warrington.

Nope I have been told about him but never seen him post

How do you terrify your wheat? I've got a few scary films I could sit it in front of?















I know you mean torrified, but that was one of the best typos I've seen for a long time!
